The Dallas Cowboys may call themselves America’s team, but the Denver Broncos have dethroned them as the NFL’s most popular team.

That’s the word from Harris Interactive, which has found in its annual poll of sports fans that the Broncos are the favorites of more Americans than any other team. The Cowboys had come in first place in each of the last six polls, but this year the Cowboys have dropped to fourth.

The poll found that the Giants are the second-most popular team and the Packers are third. The defending champion Seahawks have surged in popularity in the last year, jumping from 12th to sixth. The Titans and Jaguars tied for last place as the two least popular NFL teams.

The poll also revealed just how broad the NFL’s popularity is: Majorities of Americans in the East, Midwest, South and West follow professional football, as do majorities of Republicans, Democrats and independents. Football is popular across the country, and the Broncos are the most popular team in the country.

whats a poll? Nothing matters until a team hoists the Lombardi at the end of a game at the end of a season.

Well sh*t, just shut the forum down, there's no reason to discuss anything since nothing matters. I guess shut it down during the season, then open it up for a week or so right after the Lombardi is hoisted since that is the only thing that matters.

Polls are nothing more than opinions. And opinions are like aholes because everyone has one. Teams play the games to find out who is the best, and the team that wins the final game are judged to be champions! A level the Changers have only won once! But that was back in the AFL days and that ring only counts amongst us Charger fans. It’s getting old to be classified as one of the best teams to have NEVER won a Lombardi. Coryell would be in the Hall Of Fame had he won one! I do not want to die having never experienced the joy and having the gratification of saying MY CHARGERS ARE THE WORLD CHAMPIONS! Every year it gets harder and harder to watch other teams rejoice and celebrate and NOT lower their heads in absolute disgust! Some people must like saying “we will win it next season”. I have said that for 58 years, and it is getting old!

The Chargers have only been in existence since 1960, so saying that for 58 years seems odd.

I don't like the fact that many folks don't or won't recognize the Bolt's achievements as AFL champions, but, that's just how it is. I have never been a NFL fan, today I am an AFC fan and the NFC and NFL can go to hell for all I care.

As for the polls, it ain't no skin off my nose and the only team that matters to me is the Bolts and I rather take a kind fitting to private parties, who wants blowhards around to spoil the good nature of the peaceful Bolt fans.?????????
